[NEohioPAL]Remembering Tony Walsh...

[Debra Wiener]

I remember a party at my home with the Walshes present, and a party at their 
home (wild!)....
early to mid 80s.  Tony and Mary are both characters!  I love their truth 
seeking and truth speaking.  People after my own heart.  My ex and I brought 
"special" books back for them from Eastern Europe (before the wall fell)...I 
can't forget that.  Always open to hearing the truth in any form.  Always 
defending the defenseless.  And Tony, a great actor with a wit to match his 
heart of gold!

Jean, I too, remember A Lie of the Mind, that jewel of a show I produced and 
directed at the now defunct Euclid Little Theatre.  Oh what a cast!  Tony 
was subtlely grand; you were beautiful; Mario was dynamic.  I heard Duane 
went on to get an MFA in Theatre.  And everyone else....talk about a perfect 
cast!  I was so honored that Tony consented to do the show!

We were all blessed to know him.   His spirit will always be with us.  
Joyce, he will still be in his tux on opening nights. Don't be surprised if 
cups of tea appear out of the air for those actors.  Tony's spirit was and 
is that strong!

Hugs to everyone at this difficult time, especially dear Mary.  I know you 
will keep fighting for Truth, Mary.  You have my respect and my condolences.
